Description xordevoreaux 2023-01-14 17:47:08 UTC 
Description:
I've many fonts, and it's a dog waiting for anything to load, and heaven help me if I close out LO because I'm waiting again, and I figure the reason is it's loading all my fonts.

At least for Windows, please have the Quickstarter initiate a low-priority process to start loading fonts so that LO isn't ridiculously slow to launch.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 361 files in your Windows Fonts folder (97 fonts)
2. Launch LO
3. Observe

Actual Results:
Slow.

Expected Results:
Not slow.


Reproducible: Always

Bad idea on my part. Using the quickstart created a weird lock state for every LO file I have, and the only way to fix was to turn off quickstart.  I thought using it might help with the load times, but doing so just introduced additional problems. I'll log a bug against it at a later time when I have time.
